Tools and Equipment Used in Landscaping

!±8± Tools and Equipment Used in Landscaping

A carefully landscaped yard is the key to the curb appeal of a beautiful home. Curb appeal is important in the enjoyment of the property by current homeowners as well as the most important way to attract potential buyers if the homeowner ever decides to sell the home. In order to create this positive curb appeal, many homeowners turn to professional landscaping companies in order to transform their yard. Landscaping companies specialize in the design, implementation, and upkeep of yards and outdoor features. In order to accomplish this, landscapers use a wide variety of tools and equipment. Listed below is a description of some common tools used by landscapers.

Chainsaws
A chainsaw is a portable mechanical saw used for cutting lumber. Chainsaws can be powered in a variety of ways including electric batteries, gasoline, compressed air, or hydraulic power. In landscaping, chainsaws are used for limbing, tree felling, and removing excess branches and foliage.

Hedge Trimmers
A motorized hedge trimmer is another common piece of equipment used in landscaping. Motorized hedge trimmers allow landscaping technicians to work faster and much more efficiently than they would using manual hedge trimmers.

Pruning shears
For more detailed work like pruning shrubs or dead heading flowers, landscapers use a set of pruning shears. Pruning shears are type of handheld scissor used for cutting smaller foliage like plants or flowers.

Loppers
Loppers are a larger version of pruning shears. They include two larger handles and blades for the manual cutting or "lopping" of large branches or twigs.
